Arriving at the port of New York in 1882, a 27-year-old Oscar Wilde quipped he had "nothing to declare but my genius." But Wilde was, rarely for him, underselling himself. A chronicle of his sensational 11-month speaking tour of America, this book offers an indelible portrait of both Wilde and the Gilded Age.
